Francisco’s Fruits

2018 West, California, Road Trip

Today we had an errand to run. We visited the UPS store in Santa Paula, California to fill out our absentee ballots in the presence of a notary public and put them in the mail. Then we treated ourselves to a drive through the Santa Clara Valley to Francisco’s Fruits to load up on their incredibly delicious Dried Strawberries. We bought every single bag they had in the store today! We had fallen in love with them on a visit here two years ago. We also came away with fresh strawberries, pecans, licorice, and a Mexican candy. Lots of goodies for future snacks but we were hankering for one more immediate treat so we stopped by Anne’s Doughnuts where we shared the best eclair and apple fritter we’ve ever tasted accompanied by good coffee and friendly service! After that we headed back to the T@B for a quiet evening and a colorful sunset.

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
